Subject: sabotage linux X86_64 image with LXDE desktop released
I uploaded an image file of my latest sabotage build from
https://github.com/rofl0r/sabotage
it comes with tinyx and LXDE installed. start X server with "startx" (if
it fails to start, try to launch it again, there are some timing issues)
the desktop works, but is not polished at all - there's no background
image and the icon paths seem to be misconfigured.
this can be considered a technoloy preview.
here is a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/Lz7Ov.png
feel free to tweak the desktop and the X11 settings and file pull
requests on github.
additional packages can be installed as on the sabotage chroot - cd
/src ; vi config ; . config ; butch install packagename (i.e. luajit)
the base system itself can be considered quite stable and moderately
well tested at the moment.
there are likely some security patches missing, but the kernel used is
grsec patched.
so if you intend to use gdb you may have to override some ptrace
settings using paxctl.
(or build your own kernel with grsec disabled, see /src/pkg/kernel)
root password is sabotage
dont forget to read README in github repo

unpack using xzcat (extracts to a 10GB imagefile)
launch using qemu-system-x86_64 imagefile
or alternatively convert to virtualbox format using
|VBoxManage convertfromraw $IMG $VDI
|
if you use virtual box, you may have to change /bin/X to use different
device ids (currently commented out)
you can also loopmount the image and copy the rootfs from there
there's also a rootfs for armv7l/softfp available. kernel is not
included, because the kernel has to be carefully adapted to each
specific ARM device its intended to run on.
